Yes. At its annual conference held in Sydney in early December 2011, the Australian Labor Party voted to endorse same-sex marriage. This is a reversal of its previous longstanding position.
Neither Senator John Madigan or the Democratic Labor Party support same sex marriage. The party and the senator want to protect the sanctity of marriage, which is a commitment between a man and a woman.
Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard does not publicly support same-sex marriage, although the Labor Party of which she is a member has endorsed it. It should be noted that, although the ALP has recently endorsed gay marriage, it does not mean all members of the party agree.
Hi this is Senator Anne Urquhart here, please read my below response on same-sex marriage.It is the view of the Australian Government, that couples who have a mutual commitment to a shared life should be able to have their relationship recognised. Although the Australian Government does not support same sex marriage, it does support a nationally consistent framework for relationships to be implemented by the States and Territories.My personal opinion and belief is that there is a need for an amendment to the Marriage Act to ensure that Australia remains a country that actively promotes equality, fairness and dignity for all citizens. I will support the Caucus position in any vote; however, I will work inside and outside the ALP for an amendment to the Marriage Act.It is my belief that marriage is a commitment between two people who love each other and who wish to celebrate their commitment to one another in front of family and friends.A:Senator Urquhart supports same-sex marriage and will lobby for it within the Labor Party. If there is a vote in Parliament she will support the position of the Labor Caucus which will be determined at the Annual Conference in December 2011.
The labor union supports same-sex marriage and is urging Minnesota legislators to legalize it.
